It’s that time of the year. Most of us are well on our way
to having enough cookies, candies and other treats in the next couple of weeks to
last us through the winter. Come mid-January, however, we’ll be on the hunt
once again for a little something sweet, but not too big, to go with coffee or
tea, or as a mid-day treat.

That’s why I was delighted to discover a box of Dolcetto
Gourmet Cookies from Fusion Gourmet, Inc. (fusiongourmet.com) that I had recently
received as a sample. The cookies are bite-size crispy pillows filled with
creamy fillings. They satisfy that wish for something sweet, without being too full. In my case, it was a delicious chocolate cream that brought happiness.
The cookies are great with coffee or hot cocoa. They would also be good with ice
cream or yogurt.

Besides the chocolate, the all-natural baked cookies are
offered in Café Mocha, Tiramisu and Coconut. The company has also recently
introduced a 7 oz. Grab-and-Go 100 Calorie Bag.

For retailers, Dolcetto Petites would be a great impulse
item. It would be good in a variety of themed gift baskets or looking ahead to
next year, as a stocking stuffer.
